Alisa Vitti is a women's hormone and functional nutrition expert and pioneer in female biohacking. She is the best selling author of WomanCode, and her new book, In the FLO, is out now!

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How women can live in greater alignment with their second clock⁠—the infradian rhythm.

  • Why ignoring the infradian clock can make women sick, overwhelmed, and tired.

  • Most research in health and fitness is actually done on men⁠—and is not necessarily appropriate for women.

  • Most diets that work well for men don't work over the long-term for women because their metabolism changes twice per month.

  • How women can finally feel their best without any deprivation.

  • And so much more!

The Genius Life 73: Menstrual Blood Face Masks, Urine Therapy, and Sunning Your Butthole | Ra of Earth

The Genius Life 73: Menstrual Blood Face Masks, Urine Therapy, and Sunning Your Butthole | Ra of Earth

Ra is the owner of Kriya of the Week, which offers a short daily practice for people to get into meditation and working with their energy. It is based on an accumulation of techniques from his many years of gym ownership, a lifetime of competitive athletics, studies in psychology, and multidimensional energetic techniques from around the world. This interview shouldn't be taken as an endorsement for Ra's practices—which come from ancient traditional medicine rather than science. I leave the listener to decide what to take away from this rather interesting conversation off the beaten path.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How a wellness-obsessed hockey player from the nation's second-most unhealthy state moved to California and reinvented himself as Ra of Earth.

  • What Ra learned by spending most of his day on the beach under the California sun instead of sweating it out for hours at the gym and still performing at a competitive athletic level.

  • The numerous traditions, observations, serendipitous encounters, and entities that inform Ra's controversial regimens and practices.

  • Ra's philosophy of yoga and how he sees the body as a piece of technology akin to a smartphone.

  • How ice baths, breath work, fasting, hormesis, and self-flagellation break us down to build us up.

  • And so much more!
